GENTIANA

Generalities :

Various species of Gentiana seem to have a similar action in increasing
the appetite, and, for a time, stimulating the action of the heart and
elevating the temperature, though a prolonged and depressing reaction
follows.
Following the ravenous appetite, we find flatulent dyspepsia, with
abdominal diseases and yellow diarrha ; also, in some cases,
symptoms of catarrhal affection of the throat.
